ROCKY

Rocky(2/2)
After having my order, I sat there for half an hour, waiting for that Rocky to show up. That's when I approached madam. Doesn't take a genius to take a hint. I asked if he'd fallen sick, or something. Madam shook her head, and sat down on her chair, sighing heavily. She recounted the events that had occurred 2 weeks ago: that there was an accident during the closing time when she and rocky were returning home, when a guy on his motorbike came speeding, knocking her aside (resulting in bruises), while running over rocky. A hit and run classic. Rocky was a bloody mess. He died while he was being rushed to a veterinary. That asshole took away rocky from us, and equally Scot-free. Police actually dismissed the case, saying they had far more important cases to look after, than a hit and run against a dog. The cctv footage was too grainy to identify the culprit, and they had no leads.
While all this conversation was going on, there was this particularly ill tempered customer, that was going off saying stuff like "Can you hurry up, it's just a dog, buy a new one... etc". That guy got into my nerves but seeing as he was a new customer, I don't blame his ignorance. When someone has lost a pet, don't be that douche bag that says "It's just a pet, get a new one and get over it". It's insulting to hear that, it's like being told to get a new family member over eBay if you lose yours.
Rocky, for me, was equivalent to a brother. He was there to celebrate good times, while he was there unknowingly solving my woes by simply listening to them. He'll be missed dearly, by all the friends he made, the customers of the pastry shop, and the locals. I was devastated by the news. I must remark that only twice in my life have I really cried with uncontrolled tears streaking out of my eyes, and hearing that rocky died, I spent an hour in the restroom, sobbing. I died over a dog like a fucking baby. Was he really a dog, an indulgence for me? I'm going to have to say no. I loved that dog. He was like a brother to me. Mostly because I've opened up to him a lot, and had a great emotional attachment to him. Goes without saying he took it all to his grave, not uttering it to a single soul. Does this limbo called afterlife exist? I hope so, because what I wouldn't give up for taking a stroll down the pavement with him. That dog taught me that innocence and humility aren't a lost cause, not yet. He taught me to always be nice to the world, before expecting love and admiration from it. I'm a big no-no when it comes to whipping out my phone and snapping pictures all day long, but even I felt like a dumb guy when I don't have a memento of him. All I got as a reminder of him is the mark on my middle finger. I miss him badly.

iPill - A Story

'मेरो बर्थ डे मा के दिन्छौ काली?' उसले सोधेको थियो। 'हजुरलाई के चाहिएको छ?' मैले सोझो जवाफ दिएकि थिएँ। 'सबथोक।' उसले भन्यो। 'हस्। मेरो सब हजुरकै त हो नि।' मैले सहजै भनिदिएकि थिएँ। उसको 'बर्थ डे'मा हामी घुम्न भनेर ककनी गयौँ। बाइकपछाडि बस्दा लाग्यो हामी जिन्दगीको यात्रा गरिरहेका छौँ। उसले हर अप्ठेराहरूबाट जोगाएर बडो प्रेमले मलाई कहिँ टाढा लगिरहेछ, मायाको संसारमा। लाग्थ्यो म सुरक्षित हुनेछु उसको साथमा हुँदा। बाटोमा जाँदाजाँदै पानी पर्यो। केहिबेर भिजेरै गयौँ र अलिपर एउटा रिसोर्टमा अडियौँ। उसको चिनजान रै'छ क्यार साहुसँग बोल्यो। मलाई एउटा कोठामा आराम गर्न भनियो। म भिजेका लुगाका फेर निचोर्दै बसिरहेकि थिएँ। ऊ कोठाभित्र पस्दा म टिसर्ट खोलेर निचोरौँ भनेर खोज्दै थिएँ तर अडिएँ। मेरो अनुहार लाजले भिजेको थियो। उसले पछाडिबाट मेरो हात च्याप्प समातेको थियो। म शिथिल भएकि थिएँ। उसले मलाई तानेर अंगालोमा टाँसेको थियो। मेरा आँखाहरू चिम्म भएका थिए। बस् उसका श्वासका मन्द आहटहरू कानमा गुन्जिरहे। म काउकुतिले भित्रभित्रै बटारिएँ। मेरा कपालमा उसका औँलाहरू खेलिरहे

The 9 Exact Things Women Want Men To Do In Bed

Your sex life might be good, but aren’t there always a few things that could make it, well ... better? Quick answer: YES. How do I know? Over a glass of wine (or several), I flat out asked my friends if their sex life was everything they wanted it to be. I was surprised to hear their answers weren’t about what their partners were doing, they were about the things that they weren’t doing. While they unanimously agreed that their sex was swell, they also all agreed they just wanted a little more of these nine things. Listen up, gents, for the truth about what women want in bed?  1. Whisper in our ears. When we're getting our sexy on, we obviously want to feel sexy and when you whisper in our ear how sexy we are, it really gets us going. Tell us why you enjoy being with us and I guarantee we'll reciprocate your efforts. 2. Tell us WHY you think we're beautiful. Every girl wants to feel beautiful, duh. But it’s not just enough to tell us that we are beautiful, we

When She Reject Proposal

"They tried to exploit me sexually when I denied the marriage proposal. I cried a lot , but even my parents were not ready to hear me", says Chandrakala Basnet  from Banke. "I was just in grade 7 when I was forced to marry. I cried a lot and pleaded with my parents, but they didn't listen to me. Instead, they even encouraged them to exploit me sexually if I didn't agree. I asked for help from my brothers and we succeeded in consoling our parents. After a 2 years long silence, they started putting the pressure upon me again. I don't know why, but as I guess now, it could be because the socially rooted the concept that a girl must get married in her early age. Else, she won't be accepted by any man later. Or could be, because my parents thought there would be less economic burden on the family. I kept on fighting with them, for myself. I was a very good student, but my studies were degrading slowly. One day, I got the opportunity to participate in a tr
